Maybe the bloody Pale Tree could have kept it’s mouth shut and been something enigmatic and something not totally of this world instead of some bint with a special hairdo. Maybe they wouldn’t understand the fear of death that other races have because of their shared dream state. Made them not really understand the values of other people because all their morals and values come stamped onto their leafy soul via the tablet thing. They could have played up the inhuman aspect of them. It becomes so pervasive that it makes the world and story and everything feel like a total farce.Īnd that’s terrible, because they really could have done some cool stuff with the sylvari. It’s just as bad as Metzen’s idea that Thrall is the solution to everything in WoW and that all evil comes from good people being ‘corrupted’ by something else. They’re always the noble, right thinking people in every situation, even though they’re ‘naive’ and ‘inexperienced’, for no reason other than author fiat.
Like the writers were so completely up their own asses with glee about their bloody cabbage elves that they just had to go sodding everywhere in the game and always be the solution to everything. It feels like I’m playing someones fanfic at times. Who should I buy from?” and the answer is, of course, the sylvari. Like that dude by the crafting area in LA that basically says “I want this one thing but I don’t want to deal with a bunch of complete cunts to obtain it. Oh, the Orders are the most powerful fucking forces on the planet and the only thing that stand a chance of winning against the dragons? Well too bad they all hate each other for vaguely fucking defined reasons! But oh, wait here’s some talking shrubbery out of nowhere that unites everyone because it’s destiny or some shit and he’s got a sword that some other tree gave him.Įven the incidental stuff is like this. With Destiny’s Edge, who’s the member who isn’t entirely wrapped up in petty squabbles? The tree. It’s so obnoxious that the sylvari are, almost to a sapling, presented as the only sensible, good people in the whole fucking world. I hate how the sylvari are presented in the game and the lore. So now we get down to the bits I really loathe. But would anyone admit it? Hells no! (Except Syp as I recall, since his hatred for elves extends far enough to counter all pointy-eared things.)īut, of course, those are mostly issues with the circle jerking tools surrounding the game and not with the sylvari themselves. All for green elves with funky hair, tron lines, and underwear made of cabbage.Īnd they damn well are elves, they fit the narrative niche that has come to be affiliated with elves extremely well. I remember all the verbal fellatio that was going around the Guru forums and I cringe at the recollection. I’ve never demanded that absolutely everything appeal to me in a game after all.īut then the redesign went public and oh gods how obnoxious was that. Which was something I could live with and just ignore. cutesy, anime-esque shit designed to appeal to asian audiences like the alt character models in EQ2. I wrote them off as what my friend calls ‘Korean Appeasement Races’ i.e. Everything about them irritates me.Īt least before the redesign I could easily ignore them. You can learn more about Camelot Unchained, the Kickstarted MMORPG, by heading to the game's official website.I haven’t had any internet access for damn near a week, but I just can’t let timeliness stand in the way of good old fashioned ranting. If you don't mind reading through a lot of the technical jargon or the alpha checklist, then you're probably going to want to soak up all the detail in the post. The blog post is extremely detailed and lengthy, rolling out all the different features, parts and mechanics of the game that the team is updating, adding and fixing. What's more is that the new alpha test date will be February, 2015.

In addition to this, City State plans to hand out free subscriptions, founder's points and CSE points for backers who were promised an alpha test that's now being delayed. Between the BSC Days and the present moment, there have been huge additions to the game engine and tech. The state of the game engine and the improvements that have been going in have allowed us to make up some lost ground, but obviously not enough. First, all of our new engineers are meeting or exceeding our expectations for them.
